I have I grandson age 2.6 that already has an electrically powered BMW car with a functioning radio with Bluetooth so he’ll pass.

I have the frugal cousin of the GS, a 2003 Suzuki V-Strom 1000. So far, I'm liking it. I call it my country bike, cause it has the adventure tires, windshield and seat of a long-legged machine. I like my CB 1100 for city (suburban really) riding 'cause it's light and nimble for running up down Pacific Coast Hwy and really good at lane splitting, legal here in CA.

Nice! Congrats! The GS is a very versatile and capable motorbike.

BTW, I have the same lawnmower.

Good eye, I've had that one for 3 years and it never seems to take more than 2 pulls to fire right up.

While my neighbor raves about how much fun the GS is in the dirt, I have no plans to go off-road. I'm happy to keep both wheels on the ground and get home safely each trip. I don't want to ever not to be able to ride, and at this point and age in life off roading is taking to big a chance to dump it and get hurt.

I'm hoping for this to be a long distance bike to be able to ride this bike to the Smokies rather than trailering my bike.

So much for not going off road, I found a short cut to Starbucks

That's the way to do it!

 

[Gone in 60]

When I owned a BMW and wanted to stop for a coffee, I'd check the parking lot on the way up. If there was another BMW parked out front, I'd park in back. I didn't need the looks of disdain I'd get stepping off of a Beemer wearing Joe Rocket and Scorpion gear.

A word of wisdom from someone who owned the same generation R1200... The ABS pump is horrifically expensive and fragile. Get your brake fluid changed annually, and when you do, sacrifice a live goat or chicken to the ABS Gods. And sprinkling some pigs blood on the final drive while doing a chant every few months can't hurt either.
